10 Tips to learn the Quran
Every parent wants good for their kids, everything that would help them grow in a better way. You can give your kid the best gift by making them learn the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran has guidance regarding every aspect of life.
Furthermore, the life of the Prophet is narrated thoroughly in the Quran, so learning the Quran will help your kids succeed in this life and the life hereafter. The question is how to make kids learn the Quran. In this article, we are going to tell you the tips that will make the task very simple for you.
1- Get To Know Their Learning Style
As a parent, you are always around your kids. It helps you to get connected with them and know them in a better way. Knowing your kid will help determine their learning style and what environment boosts their learning ability.
One way is to play Quran recitation around the house so that the verses hit your kid’s ears. It will help your kids get used to the Arabic verses.
Every child is different; some love to learn verbally, while others are fond of visuals. After knowing your children, it will get easy for you to know what intimidates your kid.
Furthermore, if your kid is finding it hard to learn the Quran in Arabic, try the tafsir so that your kids know what they are memorizing.
2- Make Dua For Your Kids
Everything that you do is meant to please Allah. Allah loves it when someone makes Dua and asks for help. Before starting any work, make sure you make Dua and ask for Allah’s help.
The learning process of the Quran for your kid is a big step, so before you start making Dua for your kid, Allah puts His blessings in the process.
3- Listening With Textual Reading
The willingness of your kid is important; you should not enforce anything. It will irritate them, and they will not take an interest in reading the words they have never seen before.
Early Muslims’ method was to hear, memorize, and repeat it in prayers. We recommend you make your kids listen, then repeat, read, and write it down.
It is a general rule that anything you listen to more often sticks in your head, or you start to like it. The same rule goes for learning the Holy Quran. Listening to and repeating the Quran for many years will make your kids start to like the Quran.
4- Prepare Schedule
It is a good practice to prepare a schedule for everything and then stick to it without any negligence. As a parent, prepare a schedule for your kids to learn the Quran.
Set time for everything; time for playing, time for studying academic work, time for eating, and time for learning the Quran. Advise your kids to stick to the schedule; be it small, but give punishment to your kids for any negligence in this regard.
We advise you to set less time at the start so your kid is easy with the schedule. After some time, when your kid gets used to learning the Quran, increase the time gradually.
5- Learn Early Morning
A human mind works better when there is peace around it. The best time to learn the Quran is early morning after offering Fajr prayer because the mind is fresh and quiet.
Wake your kids early in the morning, and after they offer Fajr prayer, ask them to spend half an hour reading the Quran. The mind is fresh and can intake much information at that time.
6- Repeat Regularly
Revising and repeating the course you have memorized earlier is a good practice. It helps you to stay connected and in touch with the course.
When your kids learn the Quran, never make the mistake of leaving it because the part they memorized will fade away from their memory. Make sure that your kid opens the Quran daily and recites a few verses.
7- Effect Of Surroundings
Company has a lot of effect on a kid. A good company can help them grow for the better; otherwise, it can have a negative effect. Take full advantage of a kid’s company in learning the Quran.
Invite your kid’s friends to your home so that your kids know that they are not alone and take more interest in learning the Quran.
If your kid likes to study in the company, admit your student to a class where they can study in the company of other kids.
8- Set Distraction Free Environment
Set up a separate room for your kid to learn the Quran and academic work. You can name the room a study room. The benefit is that your kid will know when it is time to study, and they should go to the study room.
Another advantage is that no matter how many guests are in your home or how much noise is there, your kid will have no problems with it; they will go to the study room, so they feel no distraction.
9- Encourage The Kid
Kids understand the language of love; anything said politely and with softness stays with the kids. If you look at the Islamic teachings, it also teaches us to do tarbiyah of our kids with politeness.
You can also encourage your kid by praising them whenever they achieve your daily targets. Moreover, you can also give them surprises, so they get motivated and eagerly learn Quran for more rewards.
10- Online Teacher For Kids
Life is so busy, and as parents, you may not find time to teach Quran to your kids. In this situation, the best solution is to find an online teacher to teach your kids Quran.
It will help you relax; on the other hand, you will be satisfied that your kids are learning the Quran. Your job is to find a good and qualified tutor for your kid.
Moreover, you can also get help from apps like Understand Al-Quran Academy, where you can watch videos of Tajweed experts, complete certifications, study materials related to the Quran, and find exact prayer timings.
Make sure that while your kids are growing up, the recitation of the Holy Quran is played around them. It will make them familiar with it and make it easy for them to read and memorize the Quran.
Conclusion:
It is a good practice and important to make your kid learn Quran early. The things kid learns in childhood stays with them throughout. The process is complicated as it is hard to make your kid get used to it. The tips mentioned above will help your kid learn the Quran in a better way
